HyFoSy (Checking your Fallopian Tubes)

You may have heard about the HSG test to check your fallopian tubes. Well, this is similar but different. A HyFoSy is an ultrasound study that is performed to examine the uterus and determine whether your fallopian tubes are open.

It is FDA-approved, less painful than the HSG, and has a 93.7% accuracy rating, when compared to the HSG (Positive Predictive Value and Negative Predictive Value are 38% and 94%, respectively).

First launched in Europe in 2011, the FDA-approved ExEm® Foam has been used in over 500,000 foam procedures worldwide, allowing for a safe, successful alternative to X-Ray HSG, laparoscopy or (Saline-Air) HyCoSy.
